Few Common Mistakes Made in Ramadan
August 13th, 2010 — Ramadan
(In the Name of Allah (SWT), Most Gracious, Most Merciful, all praise and thanks are due to Allah, Lord of the Realms and peace and blessings be upon His Messenger (SAWS) and upon all his family and companions)
When it comes to Ramadan and its blessings we are to flourish each and every part of our body and soul, the entire submission to nothing else but Allah (SWT) and seeking forgiveness from no one else more than ever in the Month of Ramadan and this all is said to be done.
But there is something that requires your attention, we all do seek and focus on the benefits and rewards promised in this month, but have we ever thought of the mistakes that we are capable of making in such a Holy Month.
Well, I know what your answer would be and probably that is why below are some mistakes to avoid especially in the Month of Ramadan:
IFTAAR PARTIES:
It has been encouraged by Islam that inviting one and another to break fast is good and considered highly, but in the name of socialism and modernism some masses have taken this quite far which leads to those acts that are strictly forbidden in Islam such as flirting, disappearance of Hijaab, mixing, dancing of different sexes is forbidden.
RAMADAN As RITUAL:
For many of us certain things have just become things of mere repetition which has made us lose the originality and the actual cause the actual intention and the actual reason which ISLAM has obligated us to do, thus for many Ramadan has become a ritual for many without even knowing the reason why we fast.
FOOD & DRINK:
For some food and drink has become more than anything and while they are fasting all they can think of where to break their fast and when would be the time for that.
COOKING TAKES TIME:
For many wives that is a problem and they are often found cooking the entire day which is very wrong, Ramadan is the month of blessings and forgiveness you are expected to make most out of it by praying, fasting, reciting Quran, worshipping rather than cooking or wasting time planning for cooking.
EATING LIKE ANYTHING:
We have developed a habit of eating more than we can take and filling our bellies up has become a norm which is not according to SUNAH and thus is very wrong as we are always told to be moderate.
The Prophet (Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam) said: “The son of Adam does not fill any vessel worse than his stomach; for the son of Adam a few mouthfuls are sufficient to keep his back straight. If you must fill it, then one-third for food, one-third for drink and one-third for air.” (Tirmidhi, Ibn Maajah. saheeh by al-Albaani).
SLEEPING ALL DAY:
People are with the understanding that sleeping while fasting is great as they wont feel that much that they are fasting and will keep away from other eating and talking distractions. Well, negligence is never excused and this is what they are liable to as they should be the ones gathering the blessings of this Month to the maximum rather than sleeping and wasting precious time.

NATURE STRUCK AGAIN LEAVING MILLIONS HELPLESS IN RAMADAN
August 11th, 2010 — Ramadan
Reported, Islamabad-Pakistan:
It is a moment of sigh and grief as this is the time to help those people who are left all alone with nothing at all and when we say nothing we mean there is no shelter to take refuge in, no food to eat, no clean water that one can quench the dry throat with and no personal belongings to worry about and all this is connected with one thing which is directly attributed to nature in front of whom we are unable to do anything.
Weather Effecting Millions:
Millions are affected by the devastating nature call hit on Pakistan last week making it the most worst flood hit in the region ever and the level of destruction caused by the flood cannot be approximated till yet passing a week and there are still reports coming in for the increasing effecters and their losses.
Starting from the very basic monsoon rains cause the entire country suffer making millions of people homeless as the entire villages are washed with the current of flood erasing their very existence from the earth. Where the lives of people involved in these parts are at risk similarly there have been many issues requiring attention.
Consequences of Flooding:
Due to flood in the country many are left with no option than wait on mercy of ALLAH (SWT) and seek help from Him as said one might sound optimistic to the entire given scenario as no roads and disturbed transportation system we are to ponder on ones belief that what shall be done in such a situation.
Every remoteness that comes in creates a new target to achieve and this is what people/rescuers round the clock have been trying to achieve helping one and another to make the real difference. Where there are 20 million of flood effectees awaiting your attention.
Immediate Medical Help Required:
It is recently reported that people are getting exposed to diarrhea and cholera which is spreading rapidly in the region thus making it a compulsion to acquire immediate medical help which nonetheless Government of Pakistan is trying to provide that is a little slow in response at the moment.
RAMADAN is Approaching:
As we all know Pakistan is a Muslims country and the time of devotion and blessings is approaching for the month of Ramadan which requires all believers to fast. Thinking of which people are already experiencing such sufferings that how can we ever think that our brothers and sisters all out there needing our help.
Yes that is right all of you out there who are of this fact that people effected by such flooding who lost their everything and remain to be helpless awaiting things to be better, we are expected to make a difference and this is where you should seek to contribute your share as much as possible.
Let’s make a difference as much as we could and help our brothers and sisters in need and make this Ramadan a special one.
